           Summary: text/javascript responses should be compressed by
                    Apache

  Target Milestone: ---

Neither the vanilla Apache configuration nor the Debian one includes
text/javascript in the list of MIME types of responses that get compressed by
mod_deflate. Since some APIs under /svc/ happen to use that MIME type in their
responses, a bit of bandwidth can be unnecessarily wasted.

However, the lack of compression is of more import for
svc/cataloguing/framework, which transfers a megabyte or so whenever it is
invoked to fetch the default MARC21 framework (and presumably a similar amount
of data for other MARC frameworks). Since that API is invoked when Rancor
initializes, it's been observed that over a slow connection a RequireJS
"define" call can time out, leading to the MARC editor never fully initializing
and an error like this appearing in the browser debug console:

"error" load timeout for modules:
/cgi-bin/koha/svc/cataloguing/framework?frameworkcode=&callback=define"
onscripterror https://HOST/intranet-tmp1/lib/require_18.0504000.js
